10th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Had wind surgery since a laboured effort at Cartmel in late August (cheekpieces joined regular tongue-tie) but he has become wickedly inconsistent; capable off this mark but others have to rate safer propositions. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Second at Ayr in April (2m4f, good to soft) behind a revitalised rival but ran moderately the following month and he is wickedly inconsistent; cheekpieces are added; mixed record after breaks. |

Has appreciated the return to hurdles and made pretty much all over 2m3f (good) here three weeks ago; up 7lb but rated higher in the past. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Chasing did not go to plan but he's returned to hurdles on last two starts, runner-up over C&D (good to soft) on latest despite not always jumping fluently; off the same mark, he should make his presence felt. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Without a win since February 2024 but gave good account when sixth (promoted to fifth) at last month's Aintree festival; 2lb lower here and well worth another crack at 2m4f; considered. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
18 races and over two years since his last win, albeit still frequently competitive; below par over 2m5f at Ascot only 12 days ago but his peak form has come at around 2m (third in this in 2024). |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
17 races and over two years since his last win, albeit still frequently competitive; big majority of his career has been at about 2m (he last went over further in October 2024) and he's never been this far. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023 but he's been in fair form on AW this spring including when fourth on Polytrack (2m) in his last two starts; should be in the mix again but he needs to find more to make a big impact; cheekpieces are removed and blinkers return. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who hasn't won since 2023; expensive to follow in recent times but he arrives in form and this is a touch easier again off a career-low mark; can't be left out of calculations. |
4/1 |

4th 4 (4) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run dates back to July 2023; conditions are no problem for this veteran and he has been running respectably of late; others appeal more all the same. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
2m1f and 2m3f hurdle winner; well beaten second at Taunton (3m, good to firm) in April but fared better here (2m5f, good) latest; not ruled out but she does have a bit to prove over his trip. |
